Figure Comparison

Here, you see (from right to left) a plastic 1/72 Revell figure, a 25mm MiniFig, and and RSM 95 miniature. Slight differences exist between the three in size, proportion, and heft. But so long as the figures are not mixed within the same unit, there's no problem using them next to each other on the table top. And if you look carefully at the photos contained within Charge!, there are some variations in size between the Spencer Smiths on the one hand and the Stadden, Traditons, and WIllies on the other. Nevertheless, that's not really what catches your eye, right? No, it's the glorious and colorful big units that we notice rather than the precise height of the figures used. And that's good enough for me.

You also might want to remember the old trick of mounting the smaller figures on thick bases and the larger figures on thin bases.

Don't you mean "from left to right"? The plastic figure appears to be on the left...

Here's an RSM Painting Update

Here's a picture illustrating my (S-L-O-W) progress with the second company of Stollen's Leib (Grand Duchess Sonja's Own) Grenadiers. You can see I'm doing things a bit differently this time, altering the painting process to keep it interesting basically. This evening, I'll do the white gaiters and, if that goes reasonably quickly, and time allows, the red breeches. Still lots to do, but I like the way these fine fellows are shaping up along side the completed 1st company that's standing in formation just off camera, to the left here. Until tonight then!

Having a "No Day". . .

  F or the almost 20 years that she lived in Mexico, one of my late mother's Irish friends frequently mentioned having a "No Day."  A day with no social obligations, chores, tasks, or other work that interfered with whatever personal interests took one's fancy on the day in question. Since today -- a gray and chilly Saturday -- is Mom's birthday, the Grand Duchess is out with friends, and the Young Master is ensconced on the sofa in the TV room with a cold, yours truly is taking his own such No Day.  I think Mom would approve of my decision to make the world go away, as the old Eddie Arnold song intoned, even if only for a little while. So, I will spend Saturday afternoon focused on that first squadron and small regimental staff of Eureka Saxon cuirassiers.  These have stood waiting  untouched over on the painting table for almost three weeks while we skied and otherwise gadded about with snowy, winter outdoor activities. I hope to share a painting update Sunday...
